The Baltimore Sun notes Republican distress as conflicts over Puerto Rico tariffs, free trade, and constitutional mandates surface in Congress. It cites Senate amendments and Lodge’s Philippines plan, warning of escalating party disarray and a drift toward centralized power under McKinley.
British military authorities will deport General Cronje and other Boer captives to the island of St Helena. The decision marks a stark contrast to the treatment of the captured Covera.
Rev. W. W. Boyd urged Young Men’s Christian Association listeners in St. Louis to view politics as the science and duty of intelligent government. He said business, science, and literature men should lead in public life, overcoming fear of contact with troublemakers, to curb corruption and elect honest officials. The good citizenry, he argued, would reduce bribery and ward bosses, and promote virtuous governance.
Comptroller Hering explains the January 1, 1900 Treasury balance after deductions for armory appropriations and sinking fund and notes only a small remaining balance. He warns a legislative year will require 160000 to 175000 for government and schools. A liquor license diversion would demand a new tax or cut funding to charitable and educational institutions.
A writer cites Franklin Pearce arguing trusts threaten justice and government freedom. He claims burdens on seventy million to aid under one million provoke corruption, turning independent bosses into employees and eroding initiative. He asserts trusts must be removed by removing the causes of their growth.
Delegate Mitchell of Harford urged immediate passage of a Senate bill to allow any court to reconvene a grand jury when needed. The bill passed and took effect at once, spurred by the Aberdeen horror.
Editorial notes from The Baltimore Sun warn that the Puerto Rican tariff bill is a flawed Republican position likely to split the party. The Democratic national committee selects Kansas City, Missouri, for the July 4 convention, with Convention Hall described as a 20,000-seat, columnless arena built of native stone and terra cotta and capable of rapid crowd turnover.
Bankers fear the currency bill will allow many small banks to form, arguing it would cost under $2,000 to open a $25,000 institution. The writers note ordinary business sense requires banks to operate profitably and that wildcat banking is not enabled by the measure.
The text portrays the tariff as a persistent political fault line. It suggests General Hancock’s remark that the tariff is largely a local issue helped derail his bid for the Presidency and notes McKinley’s hesitancy over the Porto Rico Tariff bill risking his re election. The piece argues the tariff will never be settled until a proper resolution is achieved.
Ex Governor Wm. Pinkney White is appointed city solicitor of Baltimore replacing the resigned Bernard Carter, Esq. White assumes duties immediately and brings long public service experience to the office.
The piece argues common sense as a unifying force amid faction bias and sensational journalism. It contrasts human logic with instincts in animals and critiques sectarian thought, urging cooperation across classes and roles to advance knowledge, virtue, and social harmony. It notes religious excesses as departures from shared reason and cites practical testimonials on remedies and social satire.
The Kent News reports Denton Journan say the Governor named two strong appointees for State officials, Thomas A. Smith as labor statistician and Jonathan W. Kerr to the Immigration Bureau, with praise for their fitness and business skill. Also notes broader selections, mentions other appointments, and cites reader letters on medicines and public notices.
